Fully equipped with an integrated nav- igation bridge, fulfilling the one man bridge notation, the vessels also feature a set of systems that include one voyage data recorder system and one rate of turn indicator (ROTI) system with three repeaters.

The bridge system integrates a variety of functions such as digital radars, adap- tive track pilot and position sensors to be carried out either manually or automati- cally from a single workplace.

Able to apply a service speed of 15.2 knots, the vessels' structure includes a double skin design and double bottom running the entire length of the cargo section plus the engine room, with the double sides offering cargo protection.

The fuel oil tanks are located above the double bottom in the engine room and forward of the cargo section, while 11 ballast tanks are arranged in double bot- tom-double side spaces.
